My saph is a constant project. I'm on at the moment removing my old front jacking points and replacing them with newer ones. I'm thinking about removing the rear axle and cleaning it all up then repaint it.

I either want to build another RS500 touring car rep or a escort cossie with big bhp, wrc kit and sequential box 😊
i have considered an early mustang or Camaro for a resto mod, big bhp, huge wheels, wide arch 😋 but can’t justify the cost and don’t know enough about them.

I’ve got this sat under a tarp waiting for me to finish the current one. The “Fatboy” of the 7esq world the Luego Viento.

it counts as a ford because it’s all ford running gear and it’s getting the Mondeo St220 engine turned around for rwd.

Going for more power with my daily driver EsCos with E85 flex fuel.
My AE86 Corolla is going turbo for 2020. It was 266bhp naturally aspirated, expecting over 500 with the turbo at around 14psi.
